The ultimate power trip doesn't exist in chess—it exists on Stack Overflow. That smug little smirk says it all: "Actually, your approach is completely wrong and shows a fundamental misunderstanding of basic principles that I mastered during my lunch break in 2011." Nothing quite matches the high of demolishing someone's simple question with an unnecessarily complex answer sprinkled with links to documentation they should have "obviously" read. Bonus points for starting with "As others have pointed out incorrectly..." before proceeding to write a dissertation that could've been a three-word reply.

The desperate plea of "import everything please" hits way too close to home! That moment of pure desperation when your code refuses to run and you're ready to beg the compiler to just figure it out for you. Sure, we're supposed to only import what we need, but at 2AM with a deadline looming, specificity goes out the window and we're ready to wildcard import the entire language ecosystem just to make that one function work. The compiler silently judges our lack of module understanding while we frantically type import * like it's some magical incantation that will solve all our problems.
